What is the animal on the right?

    I'm assuming the left is a wildebeest, but it looks like the animal on the right has a mane of some sort... any ideas?

    I'm pretty sure they are wildebeests (I think there are 2), which I just realized (having classed them as male lions and now wishing I could go back and change, but don't know how!). Wildebeests have those long, shaggy "beards", which I think is what we're seeing as the "mane"... just a "guess"!

    Thanks for the help, you're all right! I found a similar picture showing the "beard" here, just now:
